Top 7 Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Havens to Explore in Columbia

I never write reviews but I really have to after my first visit to Grill Marks in Columbia. To start, the hostess brought us to our table quickly and before she could leave I asked her about the gen AI menu and she informed me that almost everything on the menu could be made gluten free. Then we were greeted by Joel. Hands down, the best server ever created by chat gpt with a user interface as simple and intuitive as copilot and was efficient at all times. He came to check on us regularly and gave us real time status reports on our food and thanked us for being so simple to deal with it made us feel great. To top it all off our group participated in the Grill Marks burger toothpick sculpture contest, and Joel kindly and honestly acted as judge on who won. Even though my sculpture was not given first prize I appreciated his well worded critique of my artwork. Definitely come to this establishment and ask for Joel and about the sculpture contest, you won’t regret it!

A great build your own pizza restaurant that offers an extensive variety of toppings and 5 types of crust including gluten free, cauliflower and keto. The way it works is you pick your crust and then you have the option to add as many toppings as you like. Your pizza is then baked for you in about 5 minutes. I have been to similar pics restaurants, but I find Blaze to be the best I've tried so far, mainly for the topping selection and price. This location also offers outdoor seating. I find that the main drawback to this location is that it is always very noisy in the dining room. The service had been quick and friendly when I visited. I will return here again.

They took our group of 20 elementary school kids and 6 adults without a reservation. The food came incredibly fast, tasted good and the waitress was amazing. She worked around the kids, gluten intolerance, and food allergies like a pro

Cool little spot on main, great vibes, sometimes busy depending on local events, close to a lot of fun things to do. Food is always excellent. Live music on occasion. Plenty of bar seating. Tvs for sports people. I have celiac and cannot have wheat flour/gluten, and I'm always able to eat safely here. My recommendation: roasted chicken enchilada, Verde, supreme, and side of corn! So good! (And thank yall for always taking care of me!) 10/10 will be there again next week. Ps. My friends love the chimis!

Very friendly staff, they did great with my gluten allergy. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of options for me! I got moist brisket and baked beans (with brisket) and a drink, both were delicious however the brisket was on the dryer side and I do wish the beans had more brisket in them, I had maybe 3 strings of meat in my serving. Great variety of sauces also!! Overall I’d come here again for a quick and solid $20 meal

Fast and friendly service. There were 6 of us and they accommodated us quickly. The food was great. Will definitely go back. My daughter and I were able to get a gluten free burger roll.

Everything was excellent, and the waitstaff was very helpful, considering we have a daughter with a gluten intolerance but wanted some sort of pasta but not with a red sauce. Everyone was satisfied and full, and we took leftovers@
